V y p VThe invention further, contemplates a device of the character described,which is extremely simple in its construction and which is inexpensiveto manufacture and produce;

With the above, recited and 'other objects in View, the-inventionresides in the novel construction set forth in thefollowingspecification, particularly pointed out in the appended claiins andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, 'it'beingunderstood that theright isreserved to embodiments other than those actually illustratedhereinto the full extent indicated by the general meaning of the termsin which: the claims are ex-r 2-2 of Fig. 1 andillustrating thelapplication of the collar-to'the shirt by means of the improved fastener. a at,7
